LEACH, ELWELL WIN AT PRIMARIES FORTY-FIRST YEAR NO. 6 MAYOR GIVEN 11,665 LEAD IN TOTAL COUNT Less Than Half of Qualified Electors Take Part in City Election. Mayor George E. Leach put himself at the head of his seven opponents in the Minneapolis primary mayoralty contest Monday, leading former State Senator James T. Elwell, his nearest competitor, by 11.665 votes. Mayor Leach and Senator Elwell will oppose each other in the final election on June 8. Leach Takes Lead at First. Mayor Leach ran away from his competitors in the primaries. He started off with a lead when the first precinct reported and he never was headed off. Senator Elwell established himself as a runner-up to the mayor, and although several times during the count it appeared that Lund might give him a close rub, Elwell pulled away easily when the big vote of the eighth and thirteenth wards came in. The Leach leads in the labor wards which he carried were heavy, and therein lies the explanation of his big margin over his competitors. In the eighth and thirteenth wards, where he ran second, he was only a lap behind Elwell. The second ward went to Senator Elwell strong. It is his home ward. The mayor experienced an odd reversal in his vote in the Seventh and Twelfth wards. Two years ago he carried the Seventh but failed to win the Twelfth. This time he carried the Twelfth and lost the Seventh. The other wards which he carried were all wards that went in his favor in his election two years ago. Small Vote Cast. Overlooking the fate of candidates in this year's primary, the outstanding thing is the appallingly small vote that selected them. Minneapolis had 186,000 voters registered to vote. The scores of candidates for various offices put in days of arduous campaigning. The weatherman favored the primary. And yet less than half of the voters took the trouble to go to the polls. All day long the voting was light and when final tabulations were being compiled early Tuesday morning it was apparent that the vote was one of the smallest ever cast by the city, in comparison with the number of voters registered. Present Judges Get Big Lead for Bench Present judges of municipal court lead the field of 11 candidates for the bench by thousands of votes, according to complete unofficial returns on Monday's primary election. The three sitting judges—Manley L. Fosseen, C. L. Smith and Clyde R. White—will go on the ticket for the June election with Fred B. Wright, Jr., Howard T. Van Lear and W. D. Scott, the other nominees. Complete returns from the city's 320 precincts give the following totals: Judge Fosseen, 42,974; Judge Smith, 31,731; Judge White, 25,807; Wright, 17,425; Van Lear, 15939; Scott, 12359; Lee, 11,536; Kilbride, 10,288; Kjellander, 9,778; Chesnut, 9,456, and Hilyer, 4,261. The three incumbents received their highest votes in the thirteenth and eighth wards, the advantage gained in these wards accounting for a large portion of their leads. Judge Fosseen was the high man in every ward save the sixth in which Howard Van Lear received the largest number of votes. New York, N. Y.—Imperial Lodge, I. B. P. O. E.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1925 Colored Boatman is Hero of Disaster EX-GOVERNOR TO ADDRESS ANNUAL MEET OF N.A.A.C.P. Fourteen States Have Notified National Office They Will Be Represented. New York, May 15.—Ex-Governor William E. Sweet of Colorado has accepted an invitation to address the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Denver this June. In his letter of acceptance Mr. Sweet says: "I esteem it a very great honor to be asked to address your convention and am pleased to accept your kind invitation." The subject of Ex-Governor Sweet's address will be: "The Mob vs. Civilization." The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. reports unprecedented interest in the Denver meeting. Already, two months before the Conference opens fourteen states have sent word that they will be represented in Denver. The states already heard from are: Texas, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Colorado, Ohio, Minnesota, Arizona, Missouri and New Jersey. At all previous Conferences such reports did not arrive until two or three weeks before the opening of the sessions. LEGIONAIRES PROTEST TESTIMONIAL EXCLUSION New York, May 15.—Protests have been filed with the national, state and county officers of the American Legion by the Col. Chas. Young Post of New York in regards to the lack of recognition shown Negro ex-service men in a testimonial given in honor of former commander-in-chief of the U. S. Army, General John J. Pershing. It was cited in the complaint that colored regiments and officers had played such a conspicuous part in the career of Gen. Pershing that it was considered an injustice to not have invited colored soldiers to take a part in the ceremonies in his honor. MADAME DOVIE WELSH RETURNS FROM TOUR Madame Dovie Adams Welsh and her accompanist, Miss Florence Robinson, have returned from their concert trip.

In addition to the Alpha Phi Alpha scholarship award, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority of the University of Minnesota will make its presentation of a scholarship to the freshman girl at the University who makes the best average. The Everywoman's Progressive League will announce the winner of its scholarship which will go to the University of Minnesota student who ranks highest in scholarship, character and need. These meetings are well worth attending and are for a commendable cause, namely, that of encouraging our girls and boys to continue in school. Everyone is urged to attend.

Only the heroic work of Tom Lee TRAINING CAMPS FOR COLORED MEN TOBE ESTABLISHED Instruction in Infantry, Cavalry and Field Artillery Will Be Offered. The Commanding Generals of the various Corps Areas throughout the United States are authorized to establish camps for the training of colored candidates providing a minimum of 50 applications are received. The Eighth Corps Area was the only corps area that received the requisite number of applications last year and as a consequence a C. M. T. Camp was established at Camp Harry J. Jones, Arizona, from August 1st to August 30th. As the time limit for applications is short it is urgent that action will be immediately taken. Governor Endorses Movement Governor Christianson has this to say of the training camp: "The training given to young men at the iCitizens' Military Camps is beneficial to them in many ways. The physical training is excellent but of still greater is the Americanization training, for it helps the boys to understand both the privileges and the obligations of citizenship. "Our country has never favored a large standing army, but we prefer having the average citizen understand enough of military matters to 'insure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense.' The citizens' camps help greatly in carrying out this idea." The Citizens Military Training Camps is a wonderful opportunity the government offers every healthy young man between the ages of 17 and 31 to spend a most profitable and pleasant month without expense to himself or his parents. Instruction will be offered this year in Infantry, Cavalry and Field Artillery with demonstrations by the Air Service and Tank Corps. In addition there will be some instruction given in the work of the Engineer Corps and Signal Corps. Radio instruction will be included in the Signal Corps work.

Earl Wilkins, 19-year-old colored student, was awarded first place and a prize of $50 in the annual freshman-sophomore oratorical contest at the University of Minnesota Friday night for his speech on "John Doe, colored student." Second and third prize money of $30 and $20 was divided between Harold Slassen, St. Paul, who spoke on "stabilizing Domestic Conditions," and Hazell E. Nelson, Minneapolis, on "Human Wreckage." It will be assuring to others to know that while the judges did not show any prejudice, the contest was so close that the least bit of that undesirable element in the minds of the judges might have altered the returns. Wilkins entered the contest without the special training in public speaking that is to the credit of other contestants. He seems PALS WITH ST turning for more.

A delightful midnight luncheon was served by the hostess, and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The next social meeting will be at the home of Miss Antoinette McFarland. EEL MAGNATE PRICE: FIVE CENTS ARIES Disaster BRAVE RACE MAN PUTS COWARDLY WHITE TO SHAME Memphis Mayor Will Ask That Carnegie Medal Be Given Heroic Boatman. Memphis, Tenn., May 15.—It has been revealed that when the government steamer Norman capsized in the Mississippi River opposite here on Friday, May 8th, and thirty-five people were rescued by the colored boatman, Tom Lee, his feat was accomplished after assistance had been refused by a white boatman who was near the scene of the disaster at the time. The spot at which the Norman met its disastrous fate is one of the most treacherous points along the course of any of the inland waters. Opposite Coahoma landing, with the soft lowlands projecting peninsulas out into the channel and swift rivulets flowing into the main current, here swirling eddies are the nemesis to all craft not sturdy enough to stand the terrific strain of their smashing force. On the afternoon in question, the Norman had set out with a party of the American Society of Engineers who had met in convention in Memphis and who had repaired to the river jaunt in order to discuss the formation of a larger society in the peace and isolation of the stream. The disaster came almost unexpectedly, according to the captain of the boat, who tells his story as follows: "The Norman was headed straight up stream with the current just below Coahoma landing. I was running on a slow bell, flanking the boat into Coahoma landing. It gave a sharp list to starboard. When it started to list I pulled over hard, but the rudder refused to respond. "I tried to have the passengers trim up the boat, but within three minutes it turned over. I was not trying to head into shore. If I had been every soul on board would have been drowned." Tom Lee, the Hero. Lee, the colored boatman employed by the Tennessee Construction Company, was passing at the time of the accident in a motor boat. Alongside of him was another motor boat occupied by a white man. When shouts for aid began to come across the waters the latter, fearing that the suction from the sinking of the boat would draw his tiny craft beneath the waves, headed for shore. Lee, on the other hand, headed straight for the sinking vessel and the mass of struggling persons which floated in the water nearby. He picked up as many of the persons in the chilly water as his small craft would contain and deposited them on shore. He then returned for another boatload. Carnegie Medal Sought. When told of Lee's unfinching bravery, Mayor Rowlette Paine of Memphis said that he would ask that he be given a Carnegie medal for his act. Subsequent efforts to reach persons perhaps still entombed in the hull of the steamer have so far proven fruitless as the current at this point is the swiftest of any point in the long tortuous course of the river. RACE PREJUDICE RISES EVEN IN PENITIARY San Quentin, Calif., May —Outbreaks during the last two days, in which three prisoners were killed and two wounded in a race war, tend to indicate that the tastes of criminals are a bit choice when they desire segregation in penitentiary. Thirty crude knives were confiscated from prisoners who took part in the battle. Warden Smith attributed the trouble to crowded quarters which prevented race segregation.

However, a few years ago his prestest was not much higher that that of Mr. Hilyer support of the votes of the race must to nominate Mr. Hilyer, but it would not credit and won the respect of every decision of the community. To-day, even the short think less of it for lack of loyalty and a solid reason to justify the action of eight in failing to support Gale P. Hilyer. He fitted for the office he sought. It was late jealousy—born of niggardness and a reflection of dishonor is more upon the duty in the premises than upon the act in official life.

Hilyer. Proud of his good manly courageous manhood. He is a worthy son be heard from at a future and we trust. Gale P. Hilyer is essentially a son of Minnesota. He received his primary education in the public schools of Minneapolis. He graduated from both the Collegiate and Law Departments of the University of Minnesota with high honors. After spending six years in the office of the law firm of, Hall and Tautges, in the practice of his profession, he opened an office upon the death of Mr. Hall, five years ago, and has continued his practice alone. He was a protege of the late Albert H. Hall, one of the ablest lawyers of his day. Mr. Hilyer has built up a successful practice and enjoys the confidence of his clientele and the respect of the courts. His ability as a lawyer is without question. He is a son of the late Andrew F. Hilyer, the first colored graduate of the University of Minnesota, and a graduate from the law department of Howard University, where he later served with signal fidelity on its board of trustees up to the time of his recent death—a period of twelve years. Gale P. Hilyer was a candidate for judge of the Municipal Court at the primary election last Monday, but failed in the nomination. He made an active campaign, with the assistance of a few loyal friends, that was clean-cut and characterized for its dignified conduct. He had a right to aspire to such an office. He was fully capable of filling it creditably had he been nominated and elected. The judgeship pays a salary of only $4,800, which is possibly less than he must earn in the practice of the law. He was willing to make the monetary sacrifice, however, for the honor, not personally, for himself, but for the race he is identified with. At a cost of time and his own money he entered the contest and placed his candidacy before the electorate, with the expectation of receiving, at least, the solid support of the race. In this he reckoned without a host. After a careful analysis of the votes cast by wards, and after making a liberal allowance for the number that failed to vote, we have concluded that fully eighty per cent of the race failed to give a worthy brother, qualified and equipped, a helping hand—refused outright to vote for him as one of three judges to be nominated. Mr. Hilyer received only twenty per cent of the colored vote. However, he received, notwithstanding this distressing failure of race support, a very large vote from the Jews and groups of other whites. His total vote of 4,261 is both flattering and encouraging when the attendant facts are considered. Judge Fosseen received the highest vote. However, a few years ago his percentage in a primary contest was not much higher that that of Mr. Hilyer. The united support of the votes of the race might not have been sufficient to nominate Mr. Hilyer, but it would have redounded to its credit and won the respect of every decent and right minded citizen of the community. To-day, even the men to whom it gave support think less of it for lack of loyalty and race pride. There is no valid reason to justify the action of eighty per cent of the race vote in failing to support Gale P. Hilyer. He was morally and mentally fitted for the office he sought. It was just plainly a case of absolute jealousy—born of niggardness and narrow-mindedness. The reflection of dishonor is more upon those who failed to do their duty in the premises than upon the aspirant for an honorable place in official life. The constant rant of the leading members of the race against the white man's prejudice falls rather flat when we turn the searchlight of introspection upon ourselves. We have yet a long way to go before reaching racial solidity. And until we learn to act as a body for the good of the whole we will continue to flounder and fail in worth-while accomplishment. We are proud of Gale P. Hilyer. Proud of his ability and high standing as a lawyer. Proud of his good moral citizenship. Proud of his courageous manhood. He is a worthy son of a worthy sire, and will be heard from at a future and we trust more propitious time. A BIT OF MINNESOTA HISTORY pressman Frank M. Eddy, one of the Republican party in Minnesota politics, personal political reminiscences entitle the opening chapter Mr. Eddy begins telling narrative: "Minnesota has been state so long that only the oldest infant is in territorial and early statehood Southern, pro-slavery and Democratic, member the time when a pretty young healthy southern family that was in St. A. for refuge after suffering a merciless her master for some trifling fault, the Bill) King—afterwards a colonel in the civil War—one of the few militant abol Ex-Congressman Frank M. Eddy, one of the early wheelhorses of the Republican party in Minnesota politics, has issued a pamphlet of personal political reminiscences entitled "Way Back Yonder." In the opening chapter Mr. Eddy begins with the following interesting narrative: "Minnesota has been a rock-ribbed Republican state so long that only the oldest inhabitants can remember that in territorial and early statehood times it was strongly pro-Southern, pro-slavery and Democratic. Few are living who remember the time when a pretty young mulatto girl, slave of a wealthy southern family that was in St. Anthony for the summer, fled for refuge after suffering a merciless whipping at the hands of her master for some trifling fault, to the home of William S. (Bill) King—afterwards a colonel in the Union army during the Civil War—one of the few militant abolitionists in the St. Paul district. A mob pursued the girl, bent on returning her to her master. Red-headed young Bill, with a double-barreled shotgun loaded with buck shot in the crook of his arm, held the mob at bay, threatening to "blow the damned head off the first man that entered the yard." Friends disguised the girl in male attire and spirited her away by a relay of teams to St. Cloud, where Mrs. Jane Grey Swisshelm received and secreted her, and finally effected her flight into Canada. Mrs. Swisshelm was as militant as Bill King. A Pennsylvanian who had become inbued, during a residence in Kentucky, with a passionate hatred of slavery, she came to Minnesota, edited a weekly newspaper called the Visitor, and defied the Democratic boss of the northern counties, who demanded that she support President Buchanan. She was denounced as a "strong-minded woman." Mr. Eddy also recounts the Dred Scott affair when the slave was held a captive at Fort Snelling awaiting the infamous decision of Chief Justice Taney, which declared that "the black man has no rights which the white man is bound to respect." The booklet contains much of the political history of the state, in which the veteran has played no small part. Daniel Alexander Payne was born of slave parents at Charlestown, S. C., February 24, 1811. At an early age his parents were given their freedom at their owner's death. The family moved to Philadelphia, where young Payne received his primary education. After preliminary study he entered the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Pa., but owing to trouble with his eyes, was not able to complete the course required for graduation. He entered the Lutheran ministry in 1838, and in 1843 became an itinerant minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He was elected historiographer of his denomination in 1848, and in 1852 a bishop. In March, 1863, he was instrumental in purchasing for the African Methodist Episcopal Church the property of Wilberforce University, near Xenia, Greene Co., Ohio. The school was reopened July 3rd, 1863, by Professor John G. Mitchell, and Bishop Payne became president, holding this office until his resignation in June, 1876, when he was succeeded by Rev. Benjamin F. Lee, and then became chancellor and dean of the theological seminary. The growth of the university progressed steadily, notwithstanding a set-back in 1865 from the destruction of the building by fire. During 1867-68 Bishop Payne made a tour of Europe; was president of the organization of the Methodist Pastors' Association, in Paris, France, in 1868, and in 1881 a delegate to the Methodist Ecumenical Council in London. He was a lifelong student, and wrote several works of enduring value, among them a "History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church" (1865); "Recollections of Men and Things" 1877), and "Domestic Education" (1886). Lincoln University gave him the degree of LL. D. in 1879. He was married in 1847 to Julia A. Bancroft, and after her death to Eliza J. Morris in 1854. He died at Wilberforce, Ohio, Nov. 29th, 1893. Bishop Payne was a man of scholarly attainments and an eloquent pulpit orator. Though of small and delicate physique he possessed executive qualifications of a high degree. He was a strict disciplinarian and exerted an influence that had much to do with the molding of the honorable character of the student body. The atmosphere of Wilberforce has always been wholesome, for which condition Daniel A. Payne was a large contributor. Gleanings From Our Exchanges OPEN LETTER TO KAUFMANN & BAER CO., INC. Gentlemen: This open letter is addressed to you by THE PITTSBURG COURIER, and it is intended to convey to you the feelings of 100,000 Negroes of Greater Pittsburgh who have been flagrantly insulted by your characteristic methods of commercializing "Everything Under the Sun." We refer to your recent libel trust upon the defenseless Negroes of Western Pennsylvania in the form of your outdoor notice of your Eleventh Anniversary as merchants in this community. If this country-wide insult had been visited upon us by the Ku Klux Klan no surprise could be expressed, but to have this libel committed by an institution controlled by Hebrews leaves us without any source of explanation. Your explanation that the idea was borrowed from the drop-curtain of a Negro theatrical production simply adds to your avaricious desire to make money at the expense of a helpless group of people, regardless of the insult visited upon them. Your statement that crap-shooting is imputed to the Negro race does not help you. It is imputed to your race that you are very skillful at arranging convenient fires in order to collect insurance on a failing business. It is imputed that your people are none too familiar with the bath and personal hygiene. It is imputed to your people that you are none too careful to be honest in your business transactions. It is imputed to your people that you are in the habit of marking goods up in order that you mark them down and sell them at a profit to a credulous public. It is imputed to your people that you seek out prosperous communities built up by other people as places for your own parasitic operations. But we do not charge these imputations to your race. We do not hold them up and commercialize upon them. We do not display these imputations on billboards out of doors. Indeed, we do not even believe these imputations to be true, much less, gentlemen, would we impress a single one of them as a means of advertising our business. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER, along with its thousands of readers, considers your insult as willful, studied and deliberate. We are tempted to say that so it maliciously done, but we shall not be so bold and insulting to say so. We do say, however, that the Negroes of this community may resort to reprisal upon your institution, as tangible evidence that they do not propose to spend their money in an institution where the scale of intelligence and code of business ethics are so low as to permit the exploitation of a helpless race of people for the sake of paltry gold—The Pittsburgh Courier. The negro boy is fate's most pitiful victim. The heart of the world is wring with sympathy at the sight of wistful hungry children pressing their faces against the window pane behind which a shop keeper has his good things to eat. But nobody cares for the Negro boy who beats his unavailing wings against the prison bars which prejudice has built about his hopes and activities. Even his parents, themselves dulled with the long continued pain of hopes denied, do not realize how poignant is his misery. They love him but do not know what to do to help him. His horizon is narrow, his ideals few, but his heart yearns just as the human heart has ever yearned. Childhood knows not the bitterness of hopes denied. In fancy it climbs the heights, and not until it has been thrust back a thousand times does it quit in despair. The boys' parade of last week showed that the dominant men of the community do not care for the Negro boy. The poverty of his home sourroundings and his inability of his parents, find no friendly aid in the community. The society for the prevention of cruelty to Negro childhood has not yet been founded. Dumb animals, horses, dogs, and cats, have their champions but not the Negro boy. Yet some day in this generation there will come the call from our common country to give up all for its sake. It is indeed a grim jest to ask a man to make sacrifices for the public good, when he has never known anything but deprivation—Kansas City Call. Americanization Series DANIEL ALEXANDER PAYNE—THEOLOGIAN POOR NEGRO BOY! THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPHAL Letters to the Editor Minneapolis, Minn, May 15, '25. To the Editor, Bulletin-Anneal: There appeared in your issue of April 2nd a statement to the effect that the courts had declared that the property at 285 Rondo St., belonged to Mrs. Harris and that Mr. Harris had no interest therein. Knowing your policy for fair play and honest news, permit me space to briefly state the facts, as I was attorney for Mr. Harris, which are as follows: Mrs. Harris sued for divorce on the grounds of "cruel and inhuman treatment," and after Mrs. Harris testified and on motion of counsel for Mr. Harris, the case was dismissed for the reason that she could not prove her case. The property rights of the parties remain the same as before the case was thrown out of court. Thanking you for making this correction for I know you are anxious to state to your readers the truth in all matters. Respectfully, GLESNER FOWLER. MEMORIAL BAPTIST NOTES Corner Rice and Fuller.

The mass meeting May 4 and 5 at Memorial Baptist Church, St. Paul, under the auspices of the Baptist Women's District Convention, was one that will live long in the memory of those who attended. The church was crowded to its capacity, and the program was excellent. Rec. G. W. Robinson, pastor of the Corinthian Baptist Church of Des Moines, Iowa, and president of the Western Baptist Convention, made the principal speech. Mrs. J. H. Burrill and her co-workers are deserving of much praise and commendation. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH On Thursday of last week a class of 19 were confirmed, namely: Lucille Shannon, Bella Lee, Katherine Davis, Rebecca McCracken, Cecil and Ralph Ward, Laura Stanton, Geraldine and Horace Pickett, Robert Anderson, David Stafford, Charles A. Charleston, Oree Locke, Seymour Moore, J. T. Young, Melvin Brooks. They received their first communion Sunday morning. The mothers and daughters of St. Philip's had a pleasant gathering in the Guild Room Thursday afternoon, with Mrs. Noble Houser as chairman. ST. PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH Both services Sunday were edifying and greatly enjoyed. The offering was $103.28. Our electric lights being disconnected on account of building, an antique scene was introduced Sunday night by the use of oil lamps. The audience seemed to enjoy the innovation. The Temple of Jerusalem was forty years in building. We hope to complete our magnificent house of worship in forty months from the time we began its erection. We gain wisdom, strength, and many other good things by allowing Patience to have her perfect work. The altruistic service which they are permitted to perform for the uplift of their fellow men is the most delightful work of all true humanitarians. The performance of this sort of duty keeps St. Paul Baptist Church energized and happy. The statement of Augusta Evans that the joy of success is not so great as that of patient working is verified in our experience. We are climbing up Zion's Hill and "Lifting as we climb." The doors of the House of the Lord stand ajar to welcome all. Come; the Christian to give thanks, and the sinner to repent. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors, Pride of the West Chapter, O. E. S.; Electa Chapter, O. E. S. for their sympathy and beautiful floral offerings, Rev. H. C. Claybrook, who so kindly aided us in every manner possible, Mr. W. Squire Neal, undertaker who by his courtesy, helped to assuage our sorrow, also Park View Hospital, where our brother, Mike Tyler, passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, Eleanor Howey, sister. Chester Judicatory Asks General Assembly to Punish Radicals. MAG LENNAN APPROVES The Presbyterian General Assembly, which meets in Columbus, O., May 12 to 29, will make history in the Presbyterian Church if it "excelsids" the Presbytery of New York. The Presbytery of Chester, near Philadelphia, has sent an overture to the Assembly, asking that New York Presbytery be excelsided for its "rebellion," and a new Presbytery of New York constituted. Never in the history of the Presbyterian Church, it is believed, has a presbytery been excelsided. The whole trouble arises out of the extreme Modernism of a majority of the ministers of New York Presbytery, who are ordaining young men, like the Rev. Carlos Fuller, who, the Conservatives say, are more Unitarian than Presbyterian in their beliefs. Would "Exscind" Presbytery. The Rev. Dr. A. Gordon MacLennan, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, "John Wanamaker's church," believes that the Presbytery of New York should be punished for its ultra-Modernism. He says: "We rejoice in the courage of the Chester Presbytery in presenting an overture for the exclending of the Presbytery of New York. They have done what many Presbyterians have wanted done, and what many ministers and elders' prayed would be done. This overture gives a definite focus to the thought and interest of the General Assembly, which meets at Columbus a few weeks hence. "In the light of the past history of the attitude of the New York Presbytery, and its present open rebellion, this overture is not drastic. Several years ago the Cincinnati Presbytery took an overture to exscind the New York Presbytery to the General Assembly, and New York Presbytery warded off the danger by promising to amend its ways. The agreement made by the commissioners representing Cincinnati and New York was afterward ratified by New York Presbytery, which formally agreed to accept Five Points in the Presbyterian Standards. Hite Dr. H. S. Coffin. "Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin's remarks regarding the reception of the Rev. Carlos Fuller by New York Presbytery may be taken perhaps as a revelation of the attitude of the presbytery, for even though Mr. Fuller refused to affirm faith in the cardinal doctrines of the Confession, Doctor Coffin stated that he believed exactly as Mr. Fuller did. "The Chester overture answers the challenge of Dr. Henry Emerson Fosdick in his farewell sermon, when he boasted of being a heretic. It also answers the proposed request of the First Presbyterian Church, New York City, for a continuance of Dr. Fosdick as their preacher. "Is it possible that Dr. Fosdick can have an easy moral conscience in the face of the consequences of his preaching and teaching in that New York pulpit." FIGHT TO CONTROL GENERAL ASSEMBLY Fighting Conservatives Want Dr. McEwan---Pacifists Oppose Him. DR ERDMAN'S POSITION Two groups will battle for control when the Presbyterian General Assembly meets in Columbus, O., May 21. Both are Conservative, since the Presbyterian Church is a great Conservative denomination, although it has a vigorous minority of Modernists in the New York Presbytery. The fighting Conservatives, of whom the Rev. Dr. Clarence Edward Macartney, Moderator of the General Assembly, and William Jennings Bryan are the leaders, believe that New York Presbytery should be called to account for its dilatory tactics in obeying the mandates of the General Assembly. They will support the Rev. Dr. William L. McEwan, pastor of the Third Church, Pittsburgh, for Moderator. Pacifist Party Objects. The pacifist party, which has rallied behind Dr. Charles R. Erdman, professor of practical theology at Princeton Seminary, does not approve of punishing the entire New York Presbytery for the sins of a few of its radical leaders. Instead, they believe that each presbytery should bring to trial any clergyman, or clergymen, who are suspected of heresy. The fallacy of the pacifist theory, the fighting Conservatives say, lies in the fact that since a majority in the New York Presbytery is ultra-Modern it would refuse to punish any of its own members for heterodox teaching.

An Evening of Fun For The People's Pleasure Almost a year has passed in which the Minneapolis Sunday Forum has continued to prove itself one of the outstanding agencies for the Race's forwar march. With programs of unusual merit it has presented from men and women well qualified to teach, its lessons of well being in lines religious, civic and economic. It has offered, too opportunity for the many who with developed talents have come before our public to display in music and the dramatic art the pleasing result of their labors. Its Journalist has read of the achievements of the Race in other places, while its critic with due solemnity has pointed out its shortcomings and commended its achievements. But the vacation season approaches; the Forum like all the world will relax, and laying aside its dignity indulge itself in a night of frivolty. Mr. Andrew Quinn and a committee of erstwhile well-behaved citizens have selected the 8th of June to stage an evening of fun that promises to set a new mark in merry entertainment. Later issues of the Bulletin-Appeal will tell the story in detail. This much may be said now—old things will be featured, old songs sung, and old pieces rendered, and a "Kangaroo Court" will hold a half hour session and fine anyone who dares to come in any except old clothes, or who has the temerity to appear in a too modern makeup. Exen the refreshments will hark back to the days of circus lemonade and the goodies like mother used to make. Save the date and look for future announcements. COLORED YOUTH SHOT BY SPECIAL WATCHMAN Kansas City, Mo., May 15.—The serious wounding of a colored youth, Joe Lewis, 20, by a special officer in the freight yards here, is being investigated. Lewis and a companion were beating their way from Parsons, Kansas, to this city. They dropped off a freight car and were walking down the C. and A. tracks when the white officer saw them and yelled for them to stop. The youths paid no heed to the command, and the officer without farther warning drew his pistol and fired point blank, striking Lewis in the spine. Doctors at the Old City hospital expressed little hope for the boy's recovery. NEW FACTS ABOUT ANCIENT AMERICA Washington, D. C.-Neil M. Judd, leader of the National Geographic society's expedition to Pueblo Bonito, the pre-COLUMBian "apartment house" of Chaco canyon, New Mexico, has brought back to Washington an amazing array of exquisite art objects and domestic utensils which shed new light on an early metropolis of Indian America. Perhaps the most beautiful piece in the collection is a turquoise necklace of 2,500 pieces and four pendants—the only complete specimen of such a necklace known. The method by which the Indians ground down the tiny pieces, and bored them out to be strung on sinews, has won the admiration of modern jewelers who have seen it. The four pendants are remarkable specimens of turquoise, deep blue, and with them, Mr. Judd said, he could have purchased every Indian horse in San Juan county. Jewels Mounted With Pine Gum. Other unique objects d'art are jet rings, perfectly rounded, on which are mounted tiny carved turquoise birds. The mounting was done with pine gum, the adhesive of the American ancients, which lasted through the ages the rings lay buried in the pueblo ruins. To get these, and other tiny pieces, the geographic explorers have sifted tons of debris, after building a miniature railroad, and set mule-drawn steel dump cars to work hauling out the rubbish. Recovered by this tedious process are some of the closest woven and finest specimens of Indian basketry yet discovered. To preserve these required the utmost dexterity, for often upon exposure a zephyrlike breeze would dissipate the specimens. The hope of preserving them lay in waxing them immediately upon their exposure. Historically one of the important finds is a double basket, the like of which has hitherto been unknown in ruins other than cliff dwellings, and the use of which has not yet been determined. It may furnish another clue to piece out further the habits, customs and religious beliefs of these aborigines. Although they left no written words, nor even any photograph records that can be deciphered, they attained a civilization as interesting as the early cultures along the Nile and in Mesopotamia, yet distinctive from all Old World peoples. Already the daily life of the Bonito dwellers has been placed out patiently in great detail. Rouge Still Intact. "That object looks like a 'vanity box,'" remarked one geographer who viewed the collections. "Not only that, but here is a bit of the rouge the Bonitanus used," replied Mr. Judd, and he displayed a lump of reddish clay, which still will color the flesh. These "makeup" devices were used by the Bonitan men, however, rather than their women, and they served principally for the beautification of participants in their dramatic religious ceremonies. Pipes also are in the collection. Some of these were "pleasure pipes" resembling very much the short, large-bowl English models. Others resemble cigar holders, with flaring bowls, and these were used to "make clouds" in the Bonitan's kivas or worship chambers. Objects which shed light on the economic habits of the Bonitans are the fleshers, with Jet and turquoise inlays, used to remove flesh from the skins of animals; flint knives, which are chipped down with infinite skill and patience; and bone needles, used in sewing skins. The broad area of communication of these ancient peoples is disclosed by objects found in their "apartments" which were brought from points as distant as the Pacific coast and the valley of Mexico. Woman 100 Years Old Does Own Housework Grand Ledge, Mich.—"I came to have glasses fitted, not my age," Mrs. Adelia D. Pickens, one hundred years old, told an optometrist recently when she came here from her home near Vermontville to get new glasses. "I'm too busy to think about my age," she said, "but I want the glasses to read with in my spare moments when I'm not busy with housework." Mrs. Pickens lives with her only remaining child, a bachelor son, and she does all her own housework. She has had five children. Recently she decided it was cheaper to buy bread than bake it, but feared her friends would think she was getting lazy if she didn't bake, so she continued to make her own, and it's mighty good bread, too, her neighbors say. Her active life has kept wrinkles away and does not appear more than sixty years old. She has been a widow since 1861, when her husband went to Kentucky to get a sick brother and himself fell sick and died. "Barracks-Room Language" Plea Aids British Soldier London.—British military law recognizes the fact that soldiers are liable to outbursts of profanity, and when a private of the First royal dragons was charged at an Aldershot court-martial recently with using insubordinate language toward a sergeant, he was acquitted on the ground that the expression he used was common barrack-room language."

J. Mc Mortuary and Funeral Director 550 Rice Street Calls Answered Telephone—Office Garfield 150 Jenn T. B. LABOR MANUFACTURER Hair Tonic A Pomade 525 RO DALE 2263- William Jennings Bryan, a leader of the fighting Conservatives of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., believes the time has come for the church to crush ultra-Modernism. The Commoner is a vigorous opponent of Fosdickism, and he sees peril in the action of New York Presbytery in admitting men to the Presbyterian ministry who deny the Virgin Birth and other fundamental doctrines of the Confession of Faith. As a commissioner from the Presbytery of Southeast Florida, Mr. Bryan will take a leading part in the fight to discipline the New York Presbytery when the General Assembly convenes in Columbus, O., next week. "The issue is really not between two kinds of Presbyterians, but between two kinds of Christianity," Mr. Bryan says. "The Christ whom the Modernists preach is not the Christ of the Bible. He is merely a man, born of a human father, and still in the grave. The Modernist Christ, being merely a man, is lost among a multitude of teachers, many of whom would be preferred by the Modernists on account of their superior education, for Christ was un-lettered, according to John and His disciples. "The difference between the Bible Christ and the Modern Christ is infinite. "The Modernists have worked secretly to obtain control of the various church organizations, but they've never dared to ask any church to affirm any position they hold. And they do not dare today to set forth what they believe openly and candidly. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick does not dare to state his attitude on any disputed point." be on any dis- e danger that general Assem- will be over- masked.

"Do you think there is danger that the action of the last General Assembly against Dr. Fosdick will be overturned?" Mr. Bryan was asked. "Not if the rank and file of the church are on their guard," he replied. "There is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of preachers and laymen of the Presbyterian Church are believers in an inspired Bible and in a supernatural Christ, and I take it for granted that so long as the controversy lasts the Presbyteries will see to it that the men who represent them in the General Assembly will be in harmony with the Presbyterian orthodox views." "Why should an orthodox Presbytery select a Modernist to misrepresent them?" Mr. Bryan said the Modernists should be rebuked because "the moment the Master is reduced to the stature of a man—and that is what the Modernists make of Christ—He ceases to be a person of importance." "Those who believe in the Bible and in a supernatural Christ," he continued, "feel that the life of the church is at stake. They rightly insist that the majority who are still believers should dominate the church and protect it from the assaults made upon its spirituality and its influence." "Dr. Foedick speaks of 'modern terma,' 'new ways of thinking,' 'a new day' and of 'modern study,' but he does not say that the new way of thinking discards the Virgin Birth, the Atonement, the miracles and the Resurrection. This evasion of the real issue is not only unfair but it is a confession of real weakness. "If the Modernists were to announce four propositions—we believe that Christ was the son of Joseph, that He had no special mission, such as stoning man's sin, that He performed no miracles, and did not rise from the dead, they could not marshal a corporal's guard of followers. "Honesty requires that the Modernists should state their position frankly and candidly, as the Conservatives state them. This, however, the leaders of the New York Presbytery refuse to do." N. Y. ADMITS UNITARIANS, DECLARE CONSERVATIVES Conservative Presbyterians charge that the New York Presbytery is bringing a steady stream of Unitarian-minded ministers into the Presbyterian Church. They cite the case of the Rev. Carlos G. Fuller, pastor of Feathersbed City Presbyterian Church, New York City, a young man who was ordained by New York Presbytery although he admitted that did not believe in the Virgin Birth and the miracles of Christ. Layman of the Fort Washington Presbyterian Church, New York, who protested against Mr. Fuller's admittance, were informed by Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, pastor of Madison Avenue Church, that he believed what Mr. Fuller believed. Dr. Coffin is a leader of the New York Liberals. At the General Assembly, which meets in Columbus, O., May 21, the Presbyterians will attempt to put a stop to this influx of Unitarian-missed ministers via the back-door of the New York Presbytery. --- Elslie Lawrence Po OF THE AMERICAN LEGION WILL GIVE A CARD PARTY AT LEGION HALL 345½ ROBERT STREET Wednesday Eve., May FIRST PRIZE $2.50 IN CASH MENTS AMU E.
